6. Lebron throw an apple vertically upward from the roof of a tall building. The apple leaves his
hand at a point even with the roof railing with an upward speed of 15.0 m/s; the apple is then in
free fall. (Ignore air resistance.) On its way back down, it just misses the railing. Find (a) the
apple's position and velocity 1.00 s and 4.00 s after leaving his hand; (b) the apple's velocity when
it is 5.00 m above the railing; (c) the maximum height reached.
